Low Carb Bloody Mary

The Keto diet seems to be sweeping the nation. Stories of folks losing tons of weight and feeling great abound on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and at the water cooler.  Have you jumped on?

I’ve been on it for a few weeks and really like it. Bacon, butter, steaks, eggs, cheese, hard liquor…Yeah, it’s a strict diet. One of the biggest challenges for me has been finding good low carb cocktail options.  My favorite adult beverage is the bloody Mary.  Unfortunately, the main ingredient-tomato juice, is a little carb heavy. Weighing in at 10 carbs per serving, one serving puts you half way to the daily max!  Add horseradish and Worcestershire and you’ve got a couple more carbs.

After a few experiments, I’ve arrived at what I consider to be a delicious low-carb bloody Mary recipe.

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3 oz tomato juice
• 2 oz bone broth (Chicken or beef)
• 2 oz vodka
• lemon wedge
• dash of celery salt
• Tabasco sauce to taste
• cracked black pepper
• pinch of mushroom powder

Instructions:

fill a pint glass with ice. Add all ingredients and roll in cocktail shaker until mixed and chilled.

Suggested garnish: Bacon, cheddar cheese, shrimp  – cooked and peeled, olive

Enjoy your 3.9 carb bloody Mary. Why not have two?
